If and When

"If" and "when" are both conditional words, but they are used in different contexts.

"If" is used to describe a hypothetical situation or condition.
For example, "If it rains, I will bring an umbrella." This sentence means that the speaker will bring an umbrella only if it rains.

"When" is used to describe a situation or condition that is expected to occur at some point in the future.
For example, "When I graduate, I plan to travel abroad." This sentence means that the speaker plans to travel abroad after they graduate.
